Southerly 15 to 25mph.
Fairly small, but blustery in places around higher summits.
Risk a burst of rain
A little rain drifting northeastwards across the region, likely fairly patchy in nature, but risk of the odd heavy burst.
Mostly higher tops toward southwest
Banks of cloud mostly across the south and western Cairngorms NP, accessed from Glen Garry and around Ben Alder, where may come and go above 700-900m. Elsewhere often confined above 1000m, breaks best toward Lecht.
30% south/west, to 70% north/east.
Fairly cloudy, a little sun mainly north of the Cairngorms. Visibility mostly good or very good.
8C rising to 11C
Above the summits
A relatively quiet start to the week, but expect local showers or patchy rain. Lowering pressure Wednesday into Thursday then leads to an unsettled end to the week. Widespread rain and heavy showers, some thundery downpours. The most sustained rain likely focused on England & Wales. Windier too, the strongest winds expected across southern Britain, where gales are possible at times Thursday-Friday. A little warmer through midweek, but no imminent return to hot weather. Likely staying generally unsettled through the weekend as low pressure continues to influence Britain.
